Abstract

An indicating system has a current pick-up inductively coupled to one of the cables of a welding system. A predetermined fraction of the voltage from the pick-up is applied to a programmed circuit arrangement which includes a timer and which controls a warning device to indicate when the predetermined fraction of the pick-up voltage has been less than a predetermined value for a predetermined time after current has begun to flow in the cable.
